So i am curious as to some of the stories people have of THEIR WORST dive ever.
Here is mine:
When i first started aquiring my own equipment when i was a new diver i was really excited to get my new reg set up in the water. Myself and two other dive buddies went out one dark and stormy night (really it was raining and the waves were crazy) no thunder or lighting though. So I go this ****ty scubapro bc from the shop (to this day i will never dive a scubapro bc again) we jump off the huge rocks into the water i struggle to put my fins on because of the waves crashing over me and struggeling with the ****ty bc. I cant stand the SP bc's because the inflator button and the exhaust button are so damn similar and close to eachother. my 5mm gloves have a hard time pressing one or the right one. (let alone i had never dove a scubapro bc so i was unfamilier with it) So finally i get my fins on and we go down. The visibility was probably 3 feet at best, water looked like gasoline was in it for some odd reason. So my mask keeps fogging up, i forgot to spit in it at the surface. So i just keep flooding it and blow ing it all out but really it didnt matter because we couldnt see anything anyways. So we are swimming along and... o what is that... seems like something is on my fin (oh probably just some eel grass)... i keep swimming my buddies infront of me. and all of a sudden STOP... i think to myself well this isnt right, one moment im swimming and now im at a dead stop. FISHING LINE! So calmly i grab my knife and cut what seemed to be 50lb test line that was all wrapped around my fin, off. And i get my compass barring again and look for my buddies. Since i took a moment to cut the line and the visibility was next to nothing, they were all but gone for sure. So i keep swimming for about a minute and i see a faint light in the distance, and the next second i run into one of them. Guess it wasnnt so distant. So a maricle has happend and i find my buddies again and we go on with out dive a couple minutes later my light canon goes out. Oh great now i get to use the little Q40 back up light i have. Believe it or not, after that one of my buddies lights goes out. He didnt have a backup light so i gave him my light little Q40led that i have attached to my HP hose. (wow am i prepared, knife and 2 back up lights!) By that time we were more than frustrated about the vis so we finished the dive early. Suprisingly enough we didnt have an out of air situation to top the dive off. So thats my worst dive ever!
